BBA LRS Expands Reach to Hispanic Community

Posted July 10, 2014

Last week, the BBA Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) launched a new Spanish-language website. The website provides all of the same features found on the main site, and has a fully responsive design to mobile and tablet technologies. The BBA LRS has been committed to connecting historically underserved populations with lawyers and legal resources for over 50 years. The LRS has a bilingual staff member and developed the site in response to the increase of Spanish callers over the years.

Beyond the Billable reached out to Solana Goss, the coordinator of the Lawyer Referral Service, to learn more about the website expansion. Here’s what she had to say: “We have recognized the language barrier gap for many Spanish speaking callers seeking legal assistance. Ensuring the Spanish-speaking population has access to our information on how to connect with legal resources is vital to our goal of increasing access to justice. I think it is important that we empower people from the public to stick up for their legal rights by making them aware of their options and how to access help.”
